--- Comment #20 from pb <blicher at comcast.net> ---
Although I do not fully understand the discussion about infobar, I want to
clarify how I use read-only so that can be taken into account in whatever y'all
decide to do.

1.  90% of the time:  I have a file open read-write over the network on my
laptop.  The laptop will not sleep while the file is open.  If I change the
file to read-only, the file handle will be closed.  (Well, it should be, but I
believe there is a bug where it does not actually close.)

2.  5% of the time:  File is open read-write by someone else (me on a different
machine).  I want to at least look at it.

3.  4% of the time:  I have the file open read-write, but I want to open it
read-write from another machine, but without losing state on the first machine.
 (Although the file might change under me -- this should be checked by the
program, btw, when switching to read-write from read-only.)

3.  1% of the time:  I do not have write permission on the file.
